Rhapsody Squared

Rhapsody Squared
With Stewart Goodyear, piano
July 29, 2026 at 7 PM
King Street Corner of Capitol Square, Madison WI
Close the season on the grand piano with pianist Stewart Goodyear taking center stage. Featuring Goodyear’s own genre-blending works—offering a sneak peek of an upcoming WCO recording—this program builds toward one of the most iconic pieces in American music: Gershwin’s Rhapsody in Blue. Jazz-inflected, virtuosic, and unforgettable, it’s a piano marathon and a bold and satisfying sendoff to summer on the Square.
